CHAP. IV.

1 Hee exhorteth him to doe his duety with all care and diligence, 6 certifieth him of the neerenesse of his death, 9 willeth him to come speedily vnto him, and to bring Marcus with him, and certaine other things which he wrote for, 14 warneth him to beware of Alexander the smith, 16 informeth him what had befallen him at his first answering, 19 and soone after hee concludeth.

¹I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Iesus Christ, who shall iudge the quicke and the dead at his appearing, and his kingdome:

²Preach the word, be instant in season, out of season, reprooue, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering & doctrine.

³For the time wil come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but after their owne lusts shall they heape to themselues teachers, hauing itching eares:

⁴And they shall turne away their eares from the trueth, and shall be turned vnto fables.

⁵But watch thou in all things, indure afflictions, doe the worke of an Euangelist, make full proofe of thy ministery.⁵

⁶For I am now readie to bee offered, and the time of my departure is at hand.

⁷I haue fought a good fight, I haue finished my course, I haue kept the faith.

⁸Hencefoorth there is layde vp for me a crowne of righteousnesse, which the Lord the righteous iudge shall giue me at that day: and not to me only, but vnto them also that loue his appearing.

⁹Doe thy diligence to come shortly vnto me:

¹⁰For Demas hath forsaken me, hauing loued this present world, and is departed vnto Thessalonica: Crescens to Galatia, Titus vnto Dalmatia.

¹¹Onely Luke is with me. Take Marke and bring him with thee: for he is profitable to me for the ministerie.

¹²And Tychicus haue I sent to Ephesus.
